Sonay Kartal vs Cristina Bucsa prediction
Sonay Kartal will try to put her Australian Open disappointment behind her in Abu Dhabi.
The British number two failed to build upon a solid quarter-final run in Adelaide by falling at the first hurdle in Melbourne.
The world number 66 will now meet a Spaniard 14 places above her in the WTA rankings for the first time, but will be hopeful of taking advantage of Cristina Bucsa’s limited time on court of late.
Kartal likes to play the underdog and if she can make this a battle, she may well have the greater appetite in the clutch moments, making a punt on a mini upset worth a go.
